Some of you guys know I've been talkin about this game for ever. Its a space based MMO still under development.
So the same basic thing as SGE, right? Wrong. Infinity's graphics are amazing for one. According to the lead dev, theres gonna be 100 billion Systems, with dozens of planets, moons, ect in each system. A person wouldnt be able to visit every planet (playing 24/7, landing on each planet for one second) in their life time. So there's theoretically planets that one person would visit and no other player would set foot on it in their lifetime. Each planet has so much depth (oceans, mountains, ect) that it would take hours on very low speed/very low altitude to explore it. You can build cities, space stations, fight NPC's, other players.
Theres a prototype of the games combat system called the Infinity Combat Prototype that's downloadable. You can fight other players and NPC's in space, surrounded by asteroids and one planet in the background. You cant actually land on the planet in the prototype. The ICP's a great chance to see the graphics in early development hands on. Me and Nem tried it a while back.
Heres a link to a vid of the ICP(Infinity Combat Proto), taken in-game.

Remember, these vids are over a year old so the graphics will only get better. Unfortunately, the game probably wont be out until late 08 or 09.
